Now here is the question. Is fascism a problem in the US?

There are certain elements of the "progressive" movement who have decided that anything which disagrees with them is "fascist" and needs to be destroyed.

Interestingly, the fascists are called Anti-Fascist.  They're a loud minority mostly concentrated in colleges and universities.  As a whole, fascism is not a problem in the USA.  The US Constitution is not that easily thwarted.

Yes. It's being perpetrated by those using violent tactics to silence anyone who disagrees with them. In other words -- Antifa.

That depends on what you mean by "as a whole" and what you mean by "problem". Considering the video and the mainstream media response who upholds, sustains, and defends fascist groups like Antifa, and considering the sway they (and Hollywood and other entities) may be having on the country (if you took a poll, how many would side with Antifa -- or even just side with the "Trump is a fascist" thought, or the "hate speech should be suppressed" thought), I think it is quite reasonable to consider fascism a problem in the US.

I believe this is a perception issue - The small minority getting loud microphones which make them seem bigger.  I see the other side because of my kids.  When you got a whole bunch of anonymous nobodies managing to put an Antifa guy in jail for 2 years they are significant.  Or a bunch of nobodies managing to stop the disrespect of the Flag and Anthem within a week.  You just don't see them in the regular info sources.  And even within the fascists, you got Antifa fighting for air with BLM and they end up eating their own.  It's like the Feminist movement.  If you're a Martian and you land within the USA  you would think Feminism is a big thing.  But in reality, only 18% of women in the USA identify with this fascist-tactics movement.

The difference, as I see it, is that the extreme left has the media, Hollywood and TV behind it.

Yeesh.  I know Crowder is a totally biased rabble-rousing agenda-driven entertainment source, but dang - it's hard to take some of that footage and those comments out of context.  I mean, I've hung out with some pretty militant patriot gun-nut rightwingers, but they never came close to talking about organizing/preparing for/planning for violence.  

And on the U of U campus for pete's sake.  Utah, you got a problem.

I was actually surprised it took Antifa so long to do something here in Utah x)

but it isn't really the local population, it's whenever people like Milo yianoppolis or Ben Shapiro show up. All of a sudden sleeper agents get triggered and hell breaks loose.

However, the source doesn't change whether something is fact or not.

Yes.  But that's dying media.  Gen Z don't watch TV, don't hold celebrities to the same pedestal as the older generations (Reality Shows caused this), and are very media savvy.  And they have a solid grip of the internet red-pilling everyone of all ages.  I mean... pewdepie is a perfect example.  TV moguls wish they have pewdepie's viewership and that non-ideological dude drops red pills worldwide just by gaming commentary.  Yet he barely blips on the radar of regular media.  He's just sitting there smack dab in the middle of the silent majority.

Apparently, I died in 1995, because I have no idea what any of the above means.  Fortunately, I have no desire to know what it means.  Excuse me while I crawl back under my rock.

Well, the fact that he's on the correct side of the political spectrum, doesn't make him any less biased, rabble-rousing, or agenda-driven.  Those things aren't insults, they're descriptors.

True. They are descriptors that work quite well for Christ.

The fascists seek to hide in plain sigh; infiltrate & then destroy peace.  This pattern of behavior is a social covenant between Lucifer and man.  It started with Cain then continued through time.  Civilizations had subverters like the Gaddianton Robbers of the Book of Mormon.  Their goal is Lucifer's plan - seek and destroy peace.
